So, you know that construction is about to begin on Bryant-Denny Stadium and that expansion is in the works, right? And you know that that old scoreboard is the first to go. But did you know it caught fire today?

No, really. University of Alabama spokeswoman Cathy Andreen said a few minutes ago that while that jumbotron was being taken down, some sparks from welding equipment fell into an air filter and started a fire. Yikes. And because it's windy, a few small fires arose, as well.

"But the fires were out, according to the foreman, before the fire department got there," Andreen said. "The Tuscaloosa Fire Department and UA Police responded, and there were no injuries."

Andreen said she first received a call at 1 p.m., but the fire was out shortly after that. So that's positive news. Remember, the big scoreboard will be replaced by HD screens in each of the four corners in the new-look stadium.
